Skills Hub keeps reusable agent instructions—Skills—in one library and distributes them to the coding tools you choose. It is aimed at developers switching between agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor who do not want to maintain separate copies by hand.
The 1.0 release, published October 11, adds collection browsing and installation, plus batch updates that retain each Skill’s source, selected tools, and deployment scope. This is a substantive release of an existing project, not its first launch.
- Setup: Download the desktop app for macOS, Windows, or Linux; use Add Skills to import from Git, a local folder, or a collection. Review the selection, then choose tags, target tools, and global or supported project scope before confirming.
- Update behavior: Batch updates continue past individual failures and leave failed items selected for retry. Cancellation stops after the current Skill. Updates mirror source file deletions and renames; a source missing
SKILL.mdis rejected before replacing the library copy. - Optional agent interface: Settings → AI Management → Enable in one click downloads the CLI, letting a coding agent manage the same library. The README says this desktop setup needs neither Node.js nor npm.
- Access and cost: Source is MIT-licensed, and installers are publicly available. There is no paid plan stated in the release material reviewed here; the coding agents themselves retain their own costs.
- Limits: The Linux desktop packages require glibc 2.39 or newer. Windows installers are unsigned and may trigger SmartScreen; the release notes also describe possible macOS Gatekeeper friction. Project-scoped distribution is supported only where the target tool allows it.
Worth considering if your problem is duplicated Skill files across agents. It is distribution plumbing, not evidence that the installed instructions are safe or effective. Review third-party Skills before propagating them, especially since updates can remove files. This capture checks the official release and documentation; it is not a hands-on compatibility or security test.
